Reviews for Out of Time
Denzel Washington's newest thriller is a lackluster piece; it's all been done before, and far better by others.
10/02/03
After a while, you start to realize there are only so many grains of salt we can swallow to help a sultry suspense picture like this go down.
10/02/03
Cute but way too predicable.
10/01/03
Until its unfortunate surrender to a formulaic finish, Out of Time is one taut, twisty and creatively startling noir thriller.
10/01/03
This is an average movie for an above average actor.
09/30/03
Out of Time is a generic thriller with nary a surprise in store for the experienced film noir viewer.
09/30/03
A roller-coaster ride of a thriller, steeped in suspense and the kind of hair-raising twists that have gone the way of quick gratification filmmaking.
09/30/03
A highly felicitous comedy of infidelities and busted-up romances.
09/30/03
A subtle role for Denzel Washington as a kind of tragic hero, a good man almost brought down by a flaw in his character.
09/25/03
Out of Time is no less inconsequential than Matchstick Men but works hard to make the audience part of its con and not a victim of it.
09/25/03
Working from a tight script by first-time screenwriter Dave Collard, Franklin moves the story at a brisk pace as his often-in-motion camera captures the sultry sensuality of a backwater coastal town.
